One Nice Bartender and a Pair of Two-Timing Twins: You Win Some, You Lose Some

Meet a real Renaissance man, Tyler Scott. Classic. I was sick last week, so when I finally left my apartment on Saturday afternoon, I really outdid myself. And by that, I mean I drank about 7 beers and 2 shots too many. First, I went to see Knight and Day with Anne, which was pretty entertaining. Then we moseyed on over to Brother Jimmy's....

I was sick last week, so when I finally left my apartment on Saturday afternoon, I really outdid myself. And by that, I mean I drank about 7 beers and 2 shots too many. First, I went to see Knight and Day with Anne, which was pretty entertaining. Then we moseyed on over to Brother Jimmy's....

We chatted up the bartender, Tyler, and were really surprised by what we learned. Tyler played college football, then lost 100 lbs. (How? "Discipline"), went to grad school at the prestigious NYU Tisch School of the Arts, and acted on *Guiding Light *for a year and a half. He does Thai boxing, likes Phantom of the Opera, and runs his own theater production company!

Tyler had definite opinions about dating (dislikes texting, thinks men should call) and love ("Love is, Would I give this person a kidney?'"). It just goes to show, never judge a guy by his job. Not that we judge bartenders. I'm just sayin'—what a multi-faceted guy!

Cerebral bartenders aside, there were also the typical patrons in the bar. One majorly drunk guy was invading our personal space. From the bar, he grabbed a stirrer with a pig on it, indicated a place on the shaft and said to me, "On a porky scale, you're an 8." Then he pointed out that I wasn't wearing any makeup. Oh, man. Onward and upward.

Erica met up with us after a party in Brooklyn; we did a little drunk shopping at Nordstrom Rack and then said goodbye to Anne. Since I, ahem, wasn't wearing makeup, we couldn't go anywhere fancy. Don't ask me why, but Erica and I ended up at another Brother Jimmy's uptown. There, we were approached by a pair of cute identical twins. TWINS! A dream come true! I even thought I got the better-looking one, despite the fact that they looked so similar.

We found out that they had done all things twin, like attending the same college, but they didn't tell us much about their current lives. So what did we do? We bought them several rounds of drinks. Too many. At one point, my twin put his hands all over my legs, and Erica's twin was rubbing her back. He was really attached to her—so much so, that she never saw his wedding ring behind her back.

After a while, one of their friends took us aside and told us that Erica's twin was married and my twin was newly engaged! What! We were disgusted by these brazen guys, and we felt so bad for their significant others.

The crazy thing is, Erica is a married-man magnet. I mean, like a seriously disproportionate number of men who hit on her are married. It's crazy. She is starting to lose faith. Brutal.

Personally, I'm just baffled that so many guys don't want to commit, and that many of the men who do commit don't honor their commitments. Is anybody happy??

Okay, not to end on a down note. At least we met one renaissance bartender who probably gets a ton of girls. Go, Tyler!

How was your weekend? Have you ever been played by a married guy? What do you do to restore your faith in men? (We watched reruns of Bethenny Getting Married? That Jason Hoppy seems so trustworthy and good.)
